justmesue Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Another one that won't ship to Canada! Guess I'm destined to wait indefinitely for the Beacon Hill, OH woah is me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uppitycats Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't understand the problem with shipping to Canada. Could someone explain it to me please? There's a lot of paperwork to fill out, because shipping to Canada (like to Europe) involves going through customs. The seller has to go to the post office, deal with the extra paperwork, and it's very expensive (for the buyer, to be sure, but the seller won't know the cost before he gets to the post office). There are also sometimes long delays between shipping and receiving, and folks on the other end (the buyer) get impatient if their package isn't there quickly -- and of course the seller has little control over that. While I've never tried to sell anything as large as a dollhouse kit to Canada!, even small things like books became a huge hassle, so I won't generally sell to Canada, either. (or Europe, or anywhere outside the US.) Lazy, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Just mailing a gift to Canada is a minor hassle, but can't compare to that of shipping to Europe! The delay is usually in the customs process at the receiving end. There was a post where someone had ordered a Dura-Craft kit and when they finally received it from Customs the box was badly taped back together and brick powder was spilling all over the other kit components.

chesterfieldzoo Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I sent feathers to Anya and it was minimal paperwork - 1/2 page and it went through fine and was cheap. Less than $1 for a bug envelope. And I just got a house from canada and it got here quick and intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I sold my tin house and shipped it to Michigan. I didn't have any problems. That's why I get a little frustrated when a listing does not include Canada. I've received alot of purchases from U.S.A, and they come through O.K.

newt Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 ditto: i get and send stuff all over, and IMO the customs paperwork is pretty straightforward, although tiresome. i collect (and trade) stamps, itty bitty wooden minis, and occasionally i get items for the kids or dgks. it does seem that since 9/11, mail takes forever and forever to travel to or from Canada. the mail from here to Europe and eastern Europe and all UK destinations seems to go as well as it ever has. maybe i've been fortunate ?? but even with the extra security precautions involved in mailing items, i've had no problems. things tend to go as smoothly internationally as things tend to go within the US. sure, once in a while an item breaks, but that has been rare, and nearly always due to poor packaging by the shipper or the "hurling team" that's locally known known as Federale Excess.

doogster Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I send stuff to Canada all the time since my family (Dad, 2 bros, 2 sis-inlaws, Nephew) all live there. The paperwork is very time consuming, about 2 minutes, and the post office will let you have the forms in advance. I also bought stuff from the US when I was in Canada, the customs form was identical to the one I fill out when sending. I have never even been charged extra, other than the actual postage, for shipping to Canada. Bottom line: there is no reason for a seller not to ship to Canada. But be aware, as the buyer you can get hit with some hefty fees to receive the item. And to sellers in Canada, don't be afraid to sell to the US, we don't get hosed with same rip-offs, er I mean fees, as the other way round.

chattycathy66 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I really, really wanted to get this house, but then I thought I'd better start/finish the other 4 houses I have first, lol. I figure if I put the money that I was willing to spend on the Emerson row into my BH, then I can get all the lighting I really want, rather than economizing, and even start buying furniture I guess it's time to be a little responsible Good luck and I hope someone from the forums snatches her (the ER) up ! :wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I love the Emerson Row and would get it except for the short basement apartment. I suppose a family of 1/2" SCALE people could live in there....but I would prefer to make the house without that bottom floor....... My own taste I guess because I think the Emerson Row is a beautiful "Painted Lady." Wolfie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
